Strong amp for little money

After a long time I finally got to upgrade my bass amp (previous was a Harley Benton HB-40B 40 watt bass combo), I decided to use this preamp.

At first, I was unsure whether this amp actually delivers what it promises. Among other things concerning the "Scrambler" function which should bring a nice Growl over.

After extensive testing in my living room I already had a bit of a guilty conscience for such a good amp to pay so little money. Then I grabbed him and went into the bandroom. There he proved himself. The sound never went down, always a nice sound in the background as you know from amplifiers of the house Ampeg.

Our band does pop-punk and fun, I've tried the scrambler function with little drive and blend. In addition "Ultra Hi" activated, which works by button press. Since then I can no longer do without this function, because this minimal portion of Overdrive everything perfectly underpins.

So, now I come to the full functions of the amp:

There are 5 connections on the front. An input for the guitar, an AUX input and a footswitch connection in the size of 6.3mm. In addition there is a headphone jack and an AUX input of 3.5mm size.

The amp is also connected to the front panel. There is the possibility to turn the amp down by 15dB with one button.

Standart Potis are also included as Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble and AUX Level (more does not need my opinion either).

You can switch on either "Ultra Hi" or "Ultra Lo" or both at the same time via 2 buttons.

And then the highlight of this amp. The Scrambler function. A simple button press and the lettering lights up green. Then the desired degree can be set via Drive and Blend. (For sound examples, I can only refer to Bonedo's test.)

At the rear there is only a connection for the current.

You can also put this amp down like a stage monitor since one side is beveled.

But every medal has two sides.

If you turn on / off toggle switch you hear a loud click but this should not disturb. And with the Amp running you can hear the integrated fan very much (it is even louder than the fan of my PC) and this one can unfortunately not be adjusted by means of potentiometer. And this amp is a real heavyweight with 19 kilos.

Conclusion:

I am very happy with this amp. To get such a good performance for this price is almost impossible nowadays. And the shipping of Thomann is almost unbeatable. Ordered on 21.2. (Saturday) and he arrived on 23.2. (Monday).

I bought this little amp 'to plug a warwick fretless on. The sound is really good; I use it for my part in a small studio and I must admit that the grain with this bass is at the rendezvous. I like to use the overdrive of this amp. It would go for rehearsals, would be limited to the stage unless the transplant.

Two drawbacks: I put 2 stars in the manufacture since at the end of a month, I had to dismantle it because a screw had barred. Nothing serious, but boring anyway.

Second, even nine, the fan of this amp is not discreet at all. And it's still embarrassing.
